Since I'm getting followers I'll do a small intro. Hi all! I am a visiting assistant prof in mathematics at Texas A&M. Previously did a post doc at Pitt and PhD in physics at Georgia Tech. I study complex systems and collective motion in biophysics. I really enjoy teaching and am always trying to

I thought of a sneaky way to find my people on this thing. Self-identify and I will add you... See you at APS-DFD! go.bsky.app/8Njfprh

I'm looking to grow some connectivity for materials scientists & engineers on BlueSky - if you identify in this grouping, I'd be happy to add you to this starter pack 🧪 go.bsky.app/U5wGm7M

Just deactivated my Xitter account! Happy to see familiar faces joining Bluesky.

For those at the APS March Meeting attendees, please consider attending “50 years of Gyroid structures in materials and tissues - in honor of Alan Schoen”. #APSMarchMeeting #apsmarch

A home-made cross polarizer setup for a photoelastic effect demo tomorrow. When you are new faculty and don't have a lab, sometimes you have to break some sunglasses 😎
